Photos already resolved at read time; names only came from the stored
column, so imports without the employee source showed bare SSOs. New
mode-aware display-name resolver backs a live fallback; stored names
still win.
External HR Picture values are relative paths; the resolver hardcoded
/static/employees/, but sites can serve photos from another host. New
employee_photo_base_url setting; blank keeps the old behavior.
At sites running the external HR directory the self-hosted table is
empty, so every kiosk badge fell to the deny policy. The resolver now
branches on employee_directory_mode: selfhosted reads the directory
table by SSO; external queries the HR directory, resolving PayNo
badges by their real PayNo column.
Catalog with photos and append-only print-file revisions, a stock
ledger attributing every take/restock/adjust to a badge-resolved
employee, a touch kiosk (scan bin, scan badge, keypad quantity) with a
deliberately open decrement-only take endpoint, 1x0.5in CODE128 bin
labels, low-stock email alerts to selected users, roles, or addresses,
and stock/consumption/by-person reports with a cache-vs-ledger
reconcile. Ships disabled; enable per site. Contract 0.13.0 adds the
mailer and the User/Role models to the plugin surface.
Flask + Vue rewrite of the classic-ASP shopdb, built as a plugin
framework so sister GE Aerospace sites can adopt it. Product version
